To his Excellency the President and Members of the Governing 'mita. [To be continued.] A heavy firing on the French coast was heard yesterday at Dover, but the cause was not known. Cadiz, Papers to the Sth ult. have reached town since our last, containing a very utiexpeCted Pro clamation of the Regency, pllciog the Caraccas in a state of blockade, and declaring all merchant ships that may enter 'or sail front the ports of that Settle ment, liable to seizure and confiscation. We are afraid that this measure will pi eve the source of con siderable embarrassment to the Government and the commerce of this country, and we are at a loss to discover the wisdom of the policy by which it has been dictated. The Spanish Regency, which has been frequently accused of want of vigour, has at length displayed 'a vigour, or rather a rigour, which is wholly misplaced, and calculated to do mi,chief instead of good. We do not mean to dipole their authority as the depositary, pro tempore, of the rights and jurisdiction of the Crown or Spain, but in their present situation, we think it would have been a much wiser policy to have restrted to conciliation titan to have adopted measures of harshness, and Measures which at the same time they have not the power of executing. We shall be happy, however, to find that this decree of blockade produces any satisfactory compromise bet wten toe Colonies which have declared their independence, and the Gown,- merit of the mother country; but if the latter mean by this act, to insist upon the unconditional sub mission of the former, we are afraid it will produce consequence; vary opposite to those which the Re gency appear to contemplate as the results of their policy. That the spirit which has atluated the Caraecas is spreading in the Spanish Colonies, is tendered evident by a variety of intelligence from thence, and patticularly by Letters and Papers to the 13th of June, which have been received from Buenos Ayres where a new Journal has been established, to con , fain the official aets of Government, and other intel_ ligence. It appears that the Junta had hesitated to comply with the call of the Real Audiencia, to ac knowledge the Government in the Isle of Ledn, and were evidently brat Cog objedicws to gain time for prevailing on the other Provinces to join in a deck ration of independence. We received Jamaica Papers this morning to the 22d ult. from which we have inserted all the intelli gence worth extraaing. They contain nothing of particular importance. American Papers reached town this morning, from which we have extracted the following article relative to the affair between the Moselle and the Vixen : " NEW-YORK, JULY 27...-THE VIXEN.- The Inlelligencer of yesterday morning gives us the basis upon which the late rumours were founded, re specting the rencounter between the Vixen and ths. British brig Moselle. Lieutenant TRIPPE, who commands the former, is not- excelled in gallantry by any other officer in our or any other navy. We mention this,. because -we believe that the fol lowing extra& from the Intelligencer, has the strongest possible (colouring against his gallant spirit, and respecting the defiance of the British Officer, which he is pretended to have submitted to. The writer is probably a Mr. POINDEXTER, the Delegate from the Mississippi territory, a man published at the seat of Government, a few weeks ago, as having dishonourably eloped from -his debt, for subsistence and amusement . at Washington, and for which he was sued at Philadelphia, on his retreat. Nobody was materially injured on board the Vixen; and the Captain of the Moselle immediately gave a handsome apology for his mistake. He had the command of a vessel appointed to watch for the French privateers, one of which he supposed the Vixen to be, and so many of which have been lately fitted out with impunity, have smuggled, plun . dered, and otherwise abused our ports and citizens. When seized, one has been restored by special or der °laic Executive, out of fear and complaisance to the author of the Rarnbouitlet Decree. " Capt. TRIPPE would nut, we may confidently say, submit to be dishonoured. If he were present , the Intelligencer would not dare to publish the un founded and malicious comments it has. They are a proof not of the passiveness of Lieut. TntPre, but of the base malignity of the Editor and his patrons, who thrive and profit by every invention and aggra vation, which may embroil the Citizens against Britain, arid ektenuate the fuul misdeeds of Bi;01.4- PA RTE. " U we had room to-day, we should publish ,the deceitful accompaniments with Willa this transac tiox is shrouded in the Intelligencer, though m e ,hould only add another superfluous proof of the barefaced partiality and sinister practices of that ve nal vehicle. " Let the public again beware of the design of its misrepresentations. We have often pointed them out before, and been alWays confirmed by the re sult.— (Fed Rep.) " It is known to our readers, that Captain POR TER of the Navy had detained a French .privateer at New Orleans, for violating the laws of the United States. For this act of duty, his recal has been de manded by TURIIEAU, and the demand has been complied with f " A thousand statements from GALLATIN, such as we this day present, could not du away such evidence as this of the devotion of our Govern ment to France. It is clear, had the Leopard been a French frigate, Captain BAattoN would never have been disgraced for not defending the Chesa. peake. It is added, that troops had been suddenly order ed to Pittsburgh, and that Mr. Secretary SMITH was to be supersed.d by C )10n,4 A Mail has arrived from the Mediterranean. It has brought letters from various parts, but none had been deii, ered when this Paper was put to Press.— It had been 40 days on ins passage. We concluded our obsenations on Saturday la.t on the state of Sweden, with an intmation that it was probable that matters had been so well prepared re speeting tzttNADoTTE, as to preclude the people from having any choice in the eleaion of their fu ture Monarch, and the contents of the Gottenburgh Mail which arrived on Saturday evening', and which we present to our Readers this day, will shew that our apprehensions were too well founded.— We end' that the present King of Swen Err, and who must, indeed, be considered as no better than an Usurper, is a despicable tool of 'BUoNAPARTE, having himself proposed Bititt4AVOTTE as his succes sor to the throne.—There can now' be little doubt that the last Crown Prince fell a viElitn to the cruel policy of France, in order to make way for the. million of the French Usurper. The Swedish King's Speech to the Diet, on this occasion, will be an eternal record of his infamy. Totally regard less of the august family from which be descended, he hai meanly assisted in raising a man to the throne, of the most it fanous charaaer, and who will probably remove him with as little-ceremony 'as he did the late Crown Prince. The Diet who as sented to ti►is degradation of their country, will, of Course be foreVer branded with the infamy which= this flagitious transadion will bring upon their usurp= ing Monarch.

The Ptinee:is AMELIA. continues improi'ing in health. . • Saturday morning the Penelope frigate, Captain Dicx, arrived at Portsmouth from the Halila): sta tion, in 2,7 days. She does nut bring any important news. Sir JOHN WARREN expeds shortly to be re lieved. The garrison under Sir GE . OIiGE PREVOST was very healthy. Major General HoDG•iuN, Go vernor of Bermuda, and Suite, cam e h ome in the Penelope. The following ships were lying at'Erali fax when the Penelope sailed :-.—Guerriere, pus (and her valuable prize from the rsle of France), Cleopatra, bolus, Hal fur, Emulous, Little Belt, Surinam, Le Bernais (lately commi,i sioned), Bream, and Shamrock. The Shawr,ck had just captured a very valuable ship, tram the Cape of Good Hope ; bound to Rouen, laden with saltpetre. The Driver and Atalanta sliled on a cruize on the 3d ult. The Dili gen t e store-ship, which sailed from Halifax with the Penelope, put into Plymouth. A nephew of Marshal NEY arrived in the Tonnant, from Cidiz, a prisoner or . w.a. The Mercury did not bring any deserters hum the French army. The French Commandant before Cidiz, until lately, allowed water to be drawn from Putt St. Mary for the use of the French priSoners on board the Spanish prison ships ; but with a view di,- tress the city, by increasing its consumption of that necessary article, he has peremptorily iorbi,fden the supply ; and the prisoners, whp are still non;erons, ' are in consequence much inconvenienced. Letters from Tenetitle communicate that 2000 French prisoners had been landed at Port Oratava from Cadiz, within the last six ‘Aeeks. So exas perated are the Spaniards at Teneritie agani,t the common enemy, that they committ all Frenchmen to close confinement. The Queen Charlotte hired cutler, !J pll ThomAs, master, of eight guns and 2 men, whil,t conveying dispatches how Vice-Admiral the Duc DE BOUILLON, to the squadron, off Cherbonrgh, was attacked on Wednesday last off the island of Alderney by a French cutler, of 16 guns, full of men.
